Should be 12w (12 x 1 watt led). It is full spectrum (not 20k). Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Actually this led was used for my SPS nano tank last time. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I bought from twilight group. Just search par38 twilight group. They have many design. Ask for their quotation first. The price is definitely much cheaper. for the color, we can ask them to tailor. I have this config: 2 hyper violet 4 royal blue 2 green 2 normal white 1 cool white 1 red Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Bro, bicarbonate at tank level pH of around 8 will not much become carbonate + H+ at equilibrium condition with the atmosphere Dosing carbonate will affect (rise) pH a bit, but there is a limit. Since things in this world always try to reach an equilibrium, at certain high pH level, the ion will start drawing CO2 from the air that will then nullify the pH increase Adding bicarbonate will initially slightly lower pH due to a little bit of them becomes H+ and carbonate, but after the equilibrium, no more bicarbonate will disassociate. The more bicarbonate ions will help a but to buffer the pH because some of the ions will actually bind H+ as well to become carbonic acid. Corals consumes bicarbonate, so H+ is supposedly released as Corals build their skeleton. I found the detail explanation here very good: http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2002/5/chemistry The hydroxide, borate, etc. ions quantity are very small compared to carbonate and bicarbonate hence ignored.

Just trying to share here. The confusion starts probably from the method of testing/measuring it. Since measuring pH is easier than measuring carbonate, test kits uses the same method to measure pH to test the concentration of carbonate ions and derived KH from there. Some facts and the correlations: * The more H+ ions the lower the pH The less H+ ions the higher the pH * KH is primarily consists of carbonate and bicarbonate * carbonate + H+ = bicarbonate This is the pH buffering capability With enough carbonate, any attempt to lower the pH (ie. adding H+ ions) will be prevented by carbonate ions that will bind with H+ to become bicarbonate because hence the free H+ ions is reduced back, therefore prevents drop in pH. This part explains correlations between pH and KH. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Hi Guys/Gals, If you are on Calcium Reactor, how long does your CO2 tank last? (Tank size, CO2 tank size, bubble rate) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Could it be their mould? ie. not dead crab but their old shell Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

How often should I feed puffer?
solasido replied to Jenaellyn's topic in FOWLR (Fish-only with Live-rock)
Oh ya once they "recognised" you, they will be very "excited" when seeing you and follow you in the direction you go in the tank. They know they will get food from you. You can even feed using your hand and they will pick from. They really behave like a doggy. The same behaviour now is with my blue jaw trigger fish (which is supposed to be in the same family as puffer fish) Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk -

solasido replied to Jenaellyn's topic in FOWLR (Fish-only with Live-rock)
I used to feed 2x a day. Given the habit of them being a messy eater, need to change water often. With enough feeding the puffer will be fat and more comical with rounded body. With less feeding they will appear slim which is most of the case when they were just caught from the wild. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk -
Aiptasia anemones with hot water

File fish also eats aiptasia. Ah Beng has it. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk -
Artica chiller 1/10 can support 450L of water?
solasido replied to gymbvolka's topic in Product Reviews
If you can keep the water temperature <=28c most of the time and at max 29c then you do not need a chiller. -
How to get a porcupine short spined to start eating
solasido replied to Jenaellyn's topic in FOWLR (Fish-only with Live-rock)
I used to buy clams and mussels from ShengSiong to feed. Sometimes, when my mom cooked crabs, I would asked for some of the legs too feed. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD -

Porcupine puffer eats crustaceans. It will love krills, clams/mussel, crabs, prawns. It should not be difficult to feed. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
